About the scholarship
This scholarship was established in 2008 through the Victoria University of Wellington Foundation from a bequest from the estate of Mrs Claire Palmer-Jones.

The scholarship is designed to support a second or third-year female student who is experiencing financial hardship, specifically targeted to students studying literature and/or modern languages.
